Blumberg Wins Staff Tennis Tournament in 36-Game Match
Mr Blumberg, Chairman of the journalism department, won the staff Tennis Tournament on Tuesday afternoon when he defeated Mr. Amir Risk of the Registrar’s office, in a closely contested fight which lasted three long sets.
The match began at 2 o’clock before a large number of spectators aanong whom was Dean Howard and many of the teaching staff. Both players began cautiously winning a game alternately. After the third game the pace increased markedly both players playing strenuously. 'There were some terrific tussles with almost impossible drives achieved and successfully returned. Most of the games reached the deuce level and were hard-won. Mr. Blumberg won the set, 9-7.
Following this victory, Mr. Bulmberg, full of - pep >, won the first three games of the
second set in aggressive style, and was leading 4-1 when Mr. Amir staged an amazing recovery, levelled the score, and eventually won the set, 6-4. To show his delight Mr. Amir added a touch of comedy by « heading » a wild return from his opponent.
Sig;ns of exhaustion now appeared on both players and Mr. Rizk suggested that they continue the match « sitting on chairs >.
The pace of the game slowed considerably, and was characterised by clever tussles, close to the net. Mr. Blumberg put « screws » on the ball very effectively at times, bewildering Mr. Rizk. who rushing at one high lob found that he had to change from a forehand into a backhand drive.
There was also a peculiar display of a doublc-handedback
hand by Mr. Blumberg. The set was won by Mr. Blumberg, 6-4.

New Teacher Joins English Department
According to a release from Dr Howard, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Chairman of the Foreig;n language department, Mr Belsley, new English instructor, is teaching the pre-freshman and freshman classes.
Mr Beisley will also help Mr Lug;ton, who joined the English department this year, in the supplementary lessons given to freshman students who need help for the improvement of their English language standard.
As a result of the addition of a new instructor to the department, Mr Hanson, English instructor, was relieved of teaching the pre-freshmen. He was thus enabled to divide the sophomores, who arc all taking the English short story courses into three sections instead of two. That procedure was necessitated by the large number of the sophomores this year.
